I watched a pair of Red-headed Woodpeckers nest and raise one fledgling last season, and this spring RHWPs are back at the same tree.

There were three all flying around at one time, but now I believe two have paired up to nest.

The problem is they can't seem to decide on a location. Looks like it may be in the same tree, but this one started a new cavity just a couple of days ago. This photo was taken this morning.

Thanks, jdtonkinson, glad you liked it!

Keep looking...I just happened to see the nest hole last year while driving down the road near our house. Once you see that first one then the rest become easier to see!

Great shot, nicely done with great detail. I have a tree near my home that is dead and must have 10 or so holes in it from woodpeckers. I wonder if they ever use the same nest twice!
